Texas Baseball: UT vs UTSA Open Thread

Email
Print[UPDATE: Texas wins 6-4 for its 17th straight victory (most since 1988) and Chance Ruffin becomes the first pitcher in UT history to have a 10 win season and a 10 save season. A big weekend ahead for the Horns as they could conceivably (not likely) clinch the Big XII crown with a sweep and KSU being swept. For now enjoy the 17th straight win. Baylor on Friday.]
Sam Stafford goes for his first collegiate decision tonight (again) against the Roadrunners of UT-San Antonio at 6:05 PM. One of the stories to come out of last weekend's sweep is some clarity to the Kevin Lusson situation. There was talk before the series of Jordan Weymouth getting a start at 3B after Augie pulled Lusson the week before. Alas Weymouth did not play this weekend, making Augie's position on the hot corner pretty clear: barring injury, Kevin Lusson will be playing. With Lusson we know what we're getting, okay hitting (last on the team in BA), but good power and above average at getting on base (fifth in OPS). His fielding percentage is abysmal, but his defense has been above average for long stretches this season. With only nine conference games left we find it unlikely that Augie replaces Lusson (again, barring a disaster) for the less sure-thing in Weymouth.
In other news, Cameron Rupp took home the Big XII hitter of the week and Cole Green took home the Big XII pitcher of the week for the second straight week (TexasSports writeup).

Rupp is dh, Walsh is catching.
Didn’t see that coming…
by InDKR'sShadow on Apr 27, 2010 5:56 PM CDT via mobile reply actions
Walsh' throw to second during the warmup was pretty weak
Hopefully it won’t be a factor
by InDKR'sShadow on Apr 27, 2010 6:06 PM CDT via mobile reply actions
Big difference between Rupp and Walsh catching
Rupp wouldnt have hesitated with the throw down to 2nd
He started this season as a catcher
Don’t know what he played in high school
by InDKR'sShadow on Apr 27, 2010 6:16 PM CDT via mobile up reply actions
I believe so, yes
He’ll be favored to be the starting catcher next year

Glad to finally be back on a game thread
Stumpy: It's called the '80s. Ford was president, Nixon was in the White House, and FDR was running this country into the ground. I was bummin' in a hole-in-the-wall town in what is now called "Utah".

I guess the downside of insane starters is the bullpen needs it’s work during the week

Hey 40 what do you think the team is going to be like next year
Do you think its going to be like the 06-08 years where we couldnt get out of the regionals
Jungmann will still be here along with alot of young talent
Its like football. We dont rebuild, we reload.

I agree with you Riess on the young talent but after 05 we acquired Russell, Danks and I believe Belt
I just don’t see a Sat and Sun starter on this team
Dicharry and Hoby....we'll be ok

Don't want to depress myself just yet
Although we will have TJ and could get lucky with Cole Green coming back. The problem with the 06-08 clubs was entirely pitching and hopefully we can avoid a similar letdown

Good news for UT baseball fans
Reid Ryan has submitted a bid to bring the Big 12 tournament to the Dell Diamond from 2012-2014. If this happens, there won’t be such lame crowds like there are at Bricktown. Big 12 needs to get on this.

You would think having it in Arlington would be an improvement
Decently central location in a major market

They had it in Arlington a couple of times
Not sure why they stopped. But even in Round Rock, attendance would be a thousand times better than it is in OKC, where the OSU and OU fans show up for their games and then disappear. At least in RR, you have Texas, Baylor, and A&M fans all within pretty easy reach.

What Augie needs to do is let Ruffin start on a Tuesday game
Like Louisiana Tech that coming up. You never know what will need out of him come Omaha
That's a great idea...
You’re right…if we get beat in either the first game or two of the regionals or the CWS and we’re battling back through a losers bracket we’ll need him to start. But it sure is nice to have three guys that start we can rely on ahead of him.
by BeeCaveHornFan on Apr 27, 2010 8:19 PM CDT up reply actions
It would be cool to see
but Augie isn’t going to fix something that isnt broken. Ruffin will start as a last resort in Omaha

Agree
At this point I think Hoby Milner is your fourth starter.
by 40AS on Apr 27, 2010 8:24 PM CDT via mobile up reply actions
In the CWS if we lose a game before the best of three championship series I bet he goes Ruffin. Let's hope we don't need to worry about it. Or maybe I need to just hope we get through a regional. Looking ahead can be disasterous.

Not necessarily
There have been elite teams to lose in Regionals only bc the faced another elite team
It's a beautiful day in Tallahassee
I don't think Ruffin would start
But if he is rested I wouldn’t be surprised to see him as the first pitcher out of the pen, possibly throwing 6 or 7 innings, in a must win situation

Dicharry?
What happened to that guy? He was amazing last year out of the pen. Almost as effective as Austin Wood. He started this year as our #2. Now he’s not even a midweek starter and has fallen to where he’s not getting in ANY games. Rough.
